The only thing I ask with the game is make it more difficult. Making Unknown difficulty 4 times harder (that's what she said. xD) instead of 3.5 times. One of my runs recently, I was able to defeat Van in about 30 seconds. About the anime, I watched that when it was first released in Japan, that anime had so much going on at once, just like the game. I think they did that beautifully. The game and anime was very close together. Another thing I found out was they made an Manga thats going to be released this month. One series about Asch and the other, Jade. (Sexiest beast alive. ^-^)

Harder Unknown version would be fun, but I think it's difficult enough as it is. I still can't defeat Unknown Nebilim when we're all level 200!

Is the new manga canon?
The more you learn about something, the more you realize just how much you don't know. I've shelved my more ambitious ideas in favor of smaller, more feasible projects and contributions. While I still have an ongoing project, and still intend to experiment with improving Gen 3's multiplayer, it's been much less stressful doing smaller things, like entries for Anthroyd's MAGM contests.

I've played Symphony and Vesperia. I never had a PS2, but I've heard a lot about this game (and others I've missed out on) from friends. So, I'm looking forward to it. Will be a new experience for me. And in 3D.

Yes, the Manga is Canon, the one about Asch is what he did after he was kidnapped and the one about Jade is how he got into the military. o.o

You missed out man, ToA is the best one out there. ;D Except, it has the corniest voice actors out of all the games.

Well I today, cause of Lightning consideration of getting TotA, I bought it for the PS2.
If I get a 3DS I'll pick this game for it.
I may import Symphonia for the PS2. Since my Wii isnt really working atm.

It's not lightning, it's this!

Sorry, kinda killed everyone on this forum? xD

Asch x Jade? One word... Hawt. x]

Jade is too cool to even learn crappy spells like Lightning. :P He skips right over the basic spells.

I noticed in all spin-offs, Jade's Mystic Arte is always Mystic Cage. Where's the Indignation love?

Every characters always (I believe) just uses their default. I imagine with Jade it's mostly because in some games, Indignation is just a high level arte, not a mystic arte. :(

I've seen the entire Tales of the Abyss anime with English subtitles. It is the best, longest, and amazing Tales anime of the ones I've seen.

It's not the longest Anime. (That's what she said. xD) Did you watched the Abyssal Chronicles subbed. If so, I was one of the people on translation team.

Well, Indignation is used by every "Wizard" Role character in each Tales Game and it's the most used Arte so it's the most loved one. <3

Indignation is considered a Mystic Arte in Tales of the Abyss. ;D So suck it other tales games. (>_> ToV is "more popular" because of the main character's name... DAMN YOU YURI ~Indignation~ Oh... hes dead.... WIN!)

Just a random thought, when ever I catch a Pikachu, I shall nick name it Indignation. xD When ever it uses Thunder, I will scream on the top of my lungs. INDIGNATION! I massacre the pokemon's face.

I watched the Abyss Chronicles subbed version. I havent finished it, But I will I kind of want to finish the story through the game THEN watch the anime now. I stopped at like episode 13? I dont remember. xD

About ToV, idk if that is the only reason why it is popular. But I ALWAYS mix up Yuri Lowenthal (Luke's Voice Actor lol) with ToV's Main character Yuri Lowell LOL. Funny if Yuri voices Yuri But Troy Baker does his voice, which I like him he voices in some of my favorite games xD

Play the game first. The Anime is exactly like the game and it gives alot of spoilers. It's not like when the makers of a anime are like. "We're going to make the Manga and the Anime completely different." It's nothing like that with the Game and the Anime. They are the same. Even the cut scenes from the Game are in the Anime.

Tales of the Abyss was never released here in Australia, originally, so I'm really looking forward to this. The first Tales game I played was Symphonia. That's also become one of my absolute favourite RPGs. The other one I tried was Radiant Mythology. Which... wasn't that great, disappointingly. It's also the only Tales game I own at the moment. I've also played Tales of Innocence, and some ToS2, but yeah. Those aren't as good as Symphonia.

Tales of the Abyss is going to be brilliant. I can't wait to play it. : DDD

Radiant Mythology isn't meant to be as good as the main games like Symphonia. It's just a spin-off with a crappy story that let's you experience all the Tales characters in one game.

I wasn't expecting it to be as great as Symphonia. I was hoping that it would be really fun. That's pretty much it. I was kind of expecting it to be similar to how the Mystery Dungeon games are. They're spinoffs, but they're brilliant spinoffs. You hopefully get what I mean. xD;

If you want a brilliant spin off then get Tales of Vs. It has all the main and popular characters in one game. Gameplay is just like ssbb only with life instead of falling off the stage. Anyway... Namco are being dumb asses just like capcom right now, not releasing games to other countries. ;-; I feel your pain because you haven't played the best tales game. Dx

Except in order to afford a full-length series (hence them actually [successfully] condensing the story), the animation had to look like crap. Iirc even the opening animation wasn't very good, lol.

I wish they'd do this one day. Instead of doing a TotW where you play an outsider to the Tales of characters, create a story where you start out as a Tales character. :C But that would require a lot of story/cutscene alterations if you wanted to switch which character you could play as or start out as and whatnot. Probably not for a handheld console, baaw.

Tales of VS was okay. The gameplay was really confusing to get the hang of at first though and I think if I hadn't played lamely (ie: pick spellcasters and stay the hell away from everyone else), I would've been a lot more frustrated by it. The graphics weren't amazing, the story mode was lame (though hilarious), and considering how many characters were in the game that have never really been introduced to North American audiences, I think it would have failed like Radiant Mythology did. :( This sucks because as a big Tales fan I absolutely adored it once I got into it (I had to force myself to take the game out of my PSP when I collected all the characters so I would play other games), but I really don't think the NA market would have enjoyed it as much. Maybe if they fleshed it out and made it a console game (omg that would be so amazing), they might bother, but considering how long it takes them to localize Tales games now (and how outdated VS already feels), I just don't think it would really happen. D: But I still think it's a game any Tales fan should import if they also like Super Smash Bros.

Speaking of tales of vs, I should get back to my translating-Jade-and-Anise's-story project. 8D;

So like I got Tales of the Abyss (PS2 port). :)
It is used, but the problem is..there is no problem, it doesnt even look like it been used at all except the case just seem it been opened alot but the case look new tho I mean the box art, and the manual. SO HAPPY I played alittle bit of it. I got to say I like the voices (IMO) and I like the designs of the game, and the battle system (which i haven't played too much yet) is very likable so far! Thanks for the people who recommended this to me, imma have fun with this game :3 People say the loading is a problem, don't seem a problem with me :o probably have to get in the game more :o
